John Krasinski is back for another mission in Jack Ryan. The first trailer for Season 2 of the Amazon Prime series has been released. This time, the action is moving to South America after the first season followed Ryan and his team on a case in the Middle East.

The action-packed trailer shows off some of the trouble Karasinski’s Ryan will get into as he “confronts the forces in power in a dangerous, declining democratic regime in South America.” The show has already been picked up for a third season, so while Ryan obviously will make it out of this action alive, he’ll be dealing with some major drama along the way.

Wendell Pierce returns as Ryan’s boss James Greer, while Noomi Rapace joins the cast as a German intelligence agent, along with Michael Kelly, who will be … Read the rest

Joel Kinnaman is ready to blast off into space for his new TV series For All Mankind. The show, created by Ronald D. Moore (Battlestar Galactica, Outlander), depicts and alternate history where the space race between the United States and the USSR never ended.

“Our show starts with the Soviets landing on the moon,” Kinnaman says. “It creates this alternate timeline. It plays off of a scenario of, ‘What needed to happen for the space race to continue?’ I play Ed Baldwin, who is the commander of Apollo 10 and it’s just fantastic writing. It’s a very original show.”

Cavill recently shared a photo from his time training in Budapest while shooting the series, writing a post about how it’s not always about how much weight you train with, but it’s “the workout” that matters. With his physique, Cavill can handle some pretty big weight, but for this particular workout, the actor was focused on getting in a workout while he was busy shooting, and that he wanted to share … Read the rest

What would the world be like if the Space Race never ended? How would the United States react if the Soviets were the first to land on the Moon? That’s the fascinating premise of the new Apple TV+ series For All Mankind, created by Ronald D. Moore and starring Joel Kinnaman as Edward Baldwin, a NASA astronaut caught up in the middle of the global space race.

As the first For All Mankind trailer lays out, this alternate history will have the United States chasing the Soviets after the USSR lands on the moon first, sending American ambitions even higher. As one character puts it: “We’re going to the Moon, Saturn, the stars…the galaxy.”

Even though Game of Thrones ended as a series, HBO had one more major look at Season 8 in the documentary The Last Watch. The documentary took a look at the crew members, directors, production staff, and everyone behind-the-scenes who helped make the final season of the series happen.

While many fans understand what it takes to bring Game of Thrones to life, The Last Watch showed it off in great detail, spotlighting different departments and giving a peek behind the curtain of how some of the biggest moments of the season were filmed and choreographed. Whether it’s stuntmen working out fight scenes, hair people creating incredible wigs, or extras getting ready for battle, you’ve never seen Game of Thrones quite like this.

Even though Game of Thrones is over, your days of binge-watching aren’t going anywhere. The summer TV season is just getting started and there are a number of shows coming out with new seasons that you’ll want to take a look at, including with stars like Kevin Costner, Men’s Journal cover star Kyle Chandler, Avengers: Endgame star Anthony Mackie, and Hellboy badass David Harbour.

Whether you’re into action, comedy, drama, romance—or everything in between—there’s a show out there for you to get through as you ponder whether to watch Game of Thrones again from the beginning, or keep thinking about what happened in the finale.

When George Clooney was plotting out his television adaptation of the classic novel Catch-22 for television, he planned on playing the role of Colonel Cathcart. But after deciding that he wanted a smaller role so he could focus more producing and directing, Clooney knew who he should call to take over as Cathcart: Friday Night Lights actor Kyle Chandler.

“He’s one of my favorite actors,” Clooney told us in Chandler’s Men’s Journal cover story. “He’s the only guy I know who could’ve taken Cathcart from a vindictive buffoon to, by the end, a guy you have sympathy for.”

While Chandler was interested in the role and working with Clooney, it wasn’t a done deal right away. Chandler was home in Texas when Clooney gave him a call—and he needed a little convincing to come on board. “Catch-22 is such … Read the rest

Even though Game of Thrones is over, you’ll still be plenty active on your HBO subscription: Westworld is starting up again. The first trailer for Westworld Season 3 was released, and it reveals an entirely new setting and cast of characters, including a criminal played by Aaron Paul of Breaking Bad.

The trailer shows off a futuristic city, filled with ultra-modern vehicles, androids bumping elbows with humans, and Paul’s crew of criminals blowing things up. Evan Rachel Wood makes an appearance in the trailer as the android Dolores, but this time around she’s no damsel in distress. She clearly has some unfinished business.

The first two seasons of the show took place primarily in the titular “Westworld,” a real-life Western playground where people paid to have adventures (and kill people). While other parks were … Read the rest
